Two Green Bay-area men face charges of sixth and seventh drunken-driving offenses, while another was recently sentenced to jail for an offense last spring.

• Vance R. Ferron, 49, of Green Bay, was arrested Dec. 30 when police stopped the van he was driving.

Ferron said "he had not operated his vehicle and that officers could not prove that he was driving," a criminal complaint states. "The defendant finally admitted he was lying and apologized to all the officers on scene."

He later "maintained that he never apologized and that he was not driving."

It was his sixth drunken-driving arrest. He has operating while intoxicated convictions dating back to 1989, with the most recent in 2004, according to court documents.

• Shaun W. Danforth, 46, of Oneida, was arrested Dec. 21 in Green Bay for his seventh drunken-driving offense after a police officer stopped him for driving with a suspended license.

Danforth said he'd been drinking, and the officer noted there were several open cans of beer behind the driver seat, according to a criminal complaint.

"The defendant admitted that he shouldn't have been driving," it said.

A preliminary breath test indicated a blood alcohol concentration of 0.23 percent, almost three times the legal limit.

• Timothy Reed, 48, of Suamico, was sentenced to eight months in jail and three years of probation after he pleaded no contest to a charge of operating while intoxicated, fourth in five years, according to online court records. He is eligible for work release and was given 64 days of credit for time served.

An 18-month prison sentence was stayed.

Reed was arrested in May and initially charged with his fifth drunken-driving offense — later changed in court proceedings — after twice crashing the moped he had been driving on a sidewalk near White Pine Road and Cardinal Lane in Suamico, according to a criminal complaint.

Deputies found a sealed bottle of vodka in his coat pocket, and a preliminary breath test indicated a blood alcohol level of 0.291 percent, more than three times the legal limit to drive, according to court records.

His driver's license is revoked, and he must use an ignition interlock device, for three years.
